The Sun Don’t Mind
There’s a war in Ukraine
But the sun don’t mind.
Though millions starve
It will continue to shine.
One day I’ll die
But eternity won’t care.
My mind will cease,
My atoms everywhere.
While we’re fed conspiracy
The universe expands
Unaware of devastation
Oblivious to our plans.
Fleas on an elephant,
A tear in the ocean.
Voyagers on a rock
Living without a notion.
So big in our heads
So tiny in reality.
An invisible flash
In the uterus of infinity.
Opher – 25.6.2022
So important to bring things into perspective.
We take ourselves too seriously.
Yet our lives are important.
The wonder of life is quite unique.
We take so much for granted.
We are busy trashing paradise for a pocket full of baubles.
How can we give this life purpose?
